Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0019001A1] An apparatus for treating fabrics that comprises a fabric treatment bag having side panels configured such that they define an interior chamber of the treatment bag such that at least one fabric article can be suspended in the interior chamber. A liquid cleaning/refreshment composition is placed in or adjacent the fabric treatment bag such that the vapors from the cleaning/refreshment composition enter the interior chamber of the treatment bag, and the treatment bag is subjected to a supplemental heat source. Preferably the supplemental heat source is passive, and even more preferably the passive source of heat is selected from the group consisting of solar radiation, a particulate exothermic composition and mixtures thereof. Methods of using the apparatuses of this invention to clean and refresh fabric articles are also provided.
